@ -29,9 +29,10 @@ The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based
on "file globs" as used by the unix shell.
If the pattern starts with a `/` then it only matches at the top level
of the directory tree, relative to the root of the remote.
If it doesn't start with `/` then it is matched starting at the
**end of the path**, but it will only match a complete path element:
of the directory tree, **relative to the root of the remote** (not
necessarily the root of the local drive). If it doesn't start with `/`
then it is matched starting at the **end of the path**, but it will
only match a complete path element:
file.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
